hi just to add uP!!mine too i was positive from tb skin test since for all we know the main reason was our bcg vaccine when we were young. i had my x-ray from the civil surgeon after that and he explained everything and upon checking my x-ray result he said i am ok and nothing to worried another thing is i do nto need to have my blood test as the community clinic nurse told me that my doctor might required that if its needed. 3 days after that the office of the civil surgeon, fax the result to community clinic coz that is where i had my tb skin test.However when we went back there they still hold the result because they are insisted this blood test again. I mentioned them that the doctor itself does not require me of that coz my xray has no problem. But it still they cannot give me complete result without completing my test as well as for them to make it assure that i am not really into contagious tb ,,very annoying by the fact it was the doctors finding that i am okay then still they would still insist (those nurses from that community clinic) that its a states requirement sigh ***. the saddest part we submitted aos however without the tb skin test result bcoz the result will be given after two weeks after, On monday is my schedule for blood test for that its another $44 for that, though its cheaper compare to the hospital well better to make it done soon since we have started it there. Il just bring the result probably during the biometrics or interview.
I'm sorry to hear about your predicament and because of that, you can be certain that you will be receiving RFE because of your incomplete AOS. I am just a little confused and curious and would like to ask some questions:
1. Why do you need to go back to the Community Clinic Nurse if you already had gone to a Civil Surgeon? USCIS only needs the I-693a (Supplement of vaccination) signed by the Civil Surgeon and if there's any comment/remarks that he need to write there about your TB skin test, that's all he needs to do and you don't need the nurse. THe Civil surgeon would only have to include a copy of the results (TB skin test and CXR results). Can you go back to the Civil Surgeon and request for the I-693a with his remarks (in sealed envelop) so you can submit that for your AOS?
2. And may I ask what "blood test" are they requiring from you? What specific blood test they said you need for the exam?
Thanks! God Bless! I had my tb skin test in the community clinic first. After i returned to them to show my bumps its 15mm obviously positive for the result. They referred me to take an x-ray fr that. SUpposedly it should be in the other laboratory however my husbands' doctor is one of the accredited civil surgeon in stateline medical center therefore we told them that i can take my x-ray with that doctor since he can also provide that I-1693a. That nurse told me that there are two kind of test to be done to make sure that i do not have tuberculosis. FIrst is the one we knew the x-ray and there is this second thing which is just recently the blood test. through blood test they can determine if i i do have bacteria of that. However, it depends on the doctor if i will still have my blood test if my x-ray result is not good. We went to my husbands' doctor under his medical insurance coverage which is lucky for us under his medical insurance, the x-ray cost is $85 and the doctors' visitation is $220. through the help of his insurance we paid only $25 as his co pay. going back to x-ray our doctor told us that i do not need for the blood test since everything is fine. He just asked us to get the result after 3 days and they will fax it to the community clinic where i had my tb skin test. As they give the result, the community clinis was not satisfied still with that x-ray to provide me the result of negative from tb. They are still insisting to have blood test as a new state policy to make sure that i do not have contagious disease which is tuberculosis. They said one of the accurate teest for that is BLOOD TEST.

I was able to submit I-693a completed by the civil surgeon but the tb skin test.....i need to have blood test on monday then 2 weeks after that is the result. we cannot wait for that result by next month for all we know that the price of aos will increase on july 30. hopefully not much problem to encouter in my aos. goodluck to all of us.
. Yesterday her sister in Montana called and they spoke for over an hour. She also texts daily back home. We've been busy the past 3 days cleaning house, and she kicked the cats outside. Today we went to OSH and bought some plants to start a garden. Overall Fely seems happy here. The temperature is hot, so there's not much problem with the fact that she brought only shorts and t-shirts. I bought her a used iMac ($10) so she can use it to text and email her family, and I can have mine back.
goodluck to your wife's adjustment period..
I got all our paperwork ready for the AOS and the only documents missing are certified copy of our marriage certificate from the court house (of which, we will be working on today), vaccination supplement - I-693A (of which, we'll be doing on Wed) and David's 2006 ITR (since I submitted the original during my interview, we will ask for a copy from his tax lady). My question is, if we get to mail the AOS packet on the 25th of July (I am being optimistic and I'm working so hard for that to happen) and get there in Chicago 1 or 2 days after, are we really able to file before the fee increase on July 30th? I know I'm being stupid here, but I just want to make sure that our packet will not be returned and we'll be asked to issue another check amounting to $1100 once it gets there or to somebody's desk. I will appreciate any helpful advice and please bear with me.
After our wedding the DJ call me with my husbands last name and it sounds odd at first. haha
They explained it to me that since I came from the Philippines and mots of us were given some kind of vaccine when we're a child, I got the anti-bodies for tuberculosis and such, so there's really nothing to worry about it. Whew! 
Joke! Joke! 
Keep it up! 
Well not today... I just got blasted for "attempting" to be humorous from the most unlikely canidate... Go figure!
